    Yeah! Is it the same for our female mallard? Is she experiencing her first hormones as well? She’s been pretty feisty lately! Unlike her usual calm self!

    Definitely. I won’t sleep on holiday for worrying about her if I don’t! He’s already had her pinned under water again this morning! 🥴 Why is he being so “matey” right now? Is it because he’s experiencing his hormones for the first time? It’s not even mating season. Will it get much worse in...
